# Configure the Record Directory of the Filmstrip Window

If you do not specify a record directory with the (Configure the record and playback directory) button of the Filmstrip, then the In-Sight ViDi adapter saves frames to the following folder by default:

<X>:\Documents\In-Sight Vision Suite\In-Sight ViDi\Filmstrip\[Date]_[Time]

The folder, by default, is named after the date and time of the frame recording (such as 20200715_132505, standing for 2020.07.15, 13:25.05). Perform the following steps if you want to change the default folder:

1. Go to the Filmstrip window. If it not already visible, click View > Filmstrip in the View menu.

2. Click the (Configure the record and playback directory) button in the Filmstrip.

   The Select the Record and Playback Directory window opens.

3. Create a new folder or select an existing one to use as the Record/Playback directory.

4. Click Select Folder once you selected the directory.

This directory will contain all the files comprising the frames. See the Filmstrip Files topic for more information.

Tip: If you select an empty directory, the Filmstrip window will be empty, and you can record new images, or create/copy new frames in it. If the selected directory already contains frames or images of the supported type (8-bit grayscale BMP or JPG files), they will be loaded into the Filmstrip window as new frames. In the latter case, the frames will be loaded with the name and sequence number they were saved with (in other words, not with the Frame name and Continue From value configured in the Filmstrip window).
